ASHLY PQX 571 Graphic Equalizer Mono 7 Band

  Ashly presents the PQX series parametric equalizers. Like graphic equalizers, parametrics allow you to boost or cut selected frequencies. However, parametric equalizers also allow exact adjustment of the frequency and bandwidth of each band, resulting in very precise control of frequency response. The amplitude, center frequency, and bandwidth are the "parameters" for each equalizer band and the term "Parametric" refers to the ability to adjust all of these characteristics independently   The Ashly PQX series equalizers are a third generation design including many refinements on our original PQ models. Lower noise, greater headroom, additional filters, full 20Hz -20KHz range on all parametric filters and additional connector types are the result.   The heart of the PQX equalizers is a unique bandpass filter circuit. Basically a “state-variable" type, this filter is trimmed and optimized to provide excellent transient response and a wide range of frequency and bandwidth adjustment. Each filter can be tuned over a 100:1 frequency range (about 6.6 octaves) and a 70:1 bandwidth range with no more than a 2 dB amplitude error at center frequency. At its sharpest setting, the filter has a "Q" of about 35 and generates a response curve with 3 dB points only 1/20 octave apart, making feedback control possible with no audible side effects. Each filter is placed in the feedback loop of a summing amplifier to produce the desired frequency response. Since a separate summing amplifier is used for each band, no interaction between bands occurs. After twenty years of refinement, the Ashly parametrics are the most powerful equalization tool available. They especially  excel in control of resonance and feedback yet also provide smoother broadband tone shaping than Graphic equalizers.

1215 Dual 15-Band Graphic Equalizer

The dbx 12 Series were designed to meet the needs of the most
demanding sound reinforcement environments, while offering the
simplicity of straightforward controls. The 1215 provides standard
features like dual channels, 15 2/3 octave bands, ISO frequency
centers, +/-12 dB input gain range, and switchable 40Hz/18 dB per
octave low-cut filters, but also includes other thoughtful features.
These include 45 mm faders; selectable +/-6dB or +/-15dB boost/cut
range for precise gain adjustments; XLR, barrier strip, and 1/4'' TRS
connectors for installation ease; balanced inputs and outputs for quiet
operation; and chassis/signal ground lift capabilities for quick hum isolation.
The visionary design of the dbx 12 Series makes your job easier.

The dbx 12 Series Equalizers were precision engineered to provide years
of maintenance-free operation in any application. The magnetically isolated
transformer, electronically balanced/unbalanced inputs and servo balanced/
unbalanced outputs, RF-filtered inputs and outputs, and power-off hard-wire
relay bypass with 2 second power up delay were steps our engineers took
to ensure compatibility for all installations. Only the best components were
utilized, yielding a 10Hz to 50kHz frequency response, greater than 90dB SNR
(ref +4dBu), less than 0.005% THD +Noise (1kHz at +4dBu), and interchannel
crosstalk of less than -80dB from 20Hz to 20kHz. All this attention to detail
is contained in a 2U steel/aluminum chassis.

Phonic's GEQ3102F is the authentic soundman's choice of EQ - a dual channel 31-band equalizer, offering 6 or 12 dB of cut or boost on standard ISO center frequencies between 20 Hz and 20 KHz. The GEQ3102F is 2-rack space units high and accepts both 1/4" TRS phone jacks and XLR connectors, making it ideal for any studio or live venue setup.

• Sweepable high and low cut filters on each channel to remove unwanted frequencies 
• Ultra low-noise audio operational amplifiers offer outstanding sound performance 
• Relay-controlled hard-bypass with an auto-bypass function during power failure 
• Dedicated subwoofer output with user-adjustable low-pass filter
• Feedback detection circuitry for indicating critical frequencies
• Balanced inputs and outputs with 1/4" TRS and XLR connectors

The Rane ME 15S microGraphic Equalizer is a two-channel, 2/3-octave design with 20 mm sliders in a single rack space unit. It features a Range switch for high slider resolution in the ±6 dB mode, equivalent resolution to 45 mm sliders found on the DEQ 60L. The ±12 dB mode provides a wide range of control over system audio.

The active filter sections feature Raneʼs innovative constant-Q (constant bandwidth) design. Constant-Q means the bandwidth of each individual filter is guaranteed to be narrow enough to prevent unwarranted interaction between filters, yet wide enough to produce exactly the type of correction curve demanded by even the most unusual acoustic surroundings. This differs dramatically from conventional designs of the past, encumbered with the unfortunate characteristic of changing bandwidth when changing boost/cut amounts.

Front panel controls and indicators include an overall rotary Level control for each channel as well as Overload indicators. Passive pushbutton Bypass switches feature LED indicators, avoiding ambiguity by being on when the unit is Bypassed. (A passive Bypass switch requires no power to operate. This allows completion of the audio path should power fail in the ME 15S.)

Inputs and Outputs are electronically balanced designs, capable of unbalanced operation when required. They accept and drive all possible signal levels into normal load impedances. Balanced applications choose between the XLR or 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve connectors. Unbalanced sources also may tie to the ME 15S through mono 1/4" connectors (no ring connection).
